Round 3, World Junior : G.Jaswant - Lim Zhuo Ren : 0-1

1.d4 d6 2. c4 e5 In my opinion, this move give white a chance to transpose the game into the most boring variation in the world...

3. dxe5 White can choose to 'play with the queen variation' with 3. Nf3 e4 4. Ng5 f5 White's knight look rather silly on g5 but it have a strong 'reverse gear' maneuver if black choose to harass it immediately for e.g 5. Nc3 h6 6. Nh3 g5 7. Ng1 The knight move 4 times to return to it initial square but on the other hand black has commit a serious weakness on his kingside! 3... dxe5 4. Qxd8+ Kxd8

Both queens are off the board already after move 4? Some may said there are no beauty left in this position but who cares? Objectively speaking there is nothing wrong to play a queen less game because the objective of the game is to checkmate your opponent and of course you can always do it without the queen.

5. Nf3 f6 6. Nc3 c6 7. e3 Theory gave 7. e4. The drawback of both moves ( e3 or e4) in this variation is it give Black potential invasion squares for a knight ( or other piece) on either d3 or d4.

7... Kc7 The c7 square is a typical 'heaven' for black's king in this variation.
